Heather Langenkamp Says She’d Love to Play Nancy Thompson One More Time in ‘Elm Street’ Revival

Published

Given the smash hit success of Halloween, we wouldn’t be surprised to see other horror franchises revived with a similar “sequel to the original” approach, and it’s always possible that A Nightmare on Elm Street could be one of those franchises. Recently, Robert Englund teased that he may have one more left in him, and Heather Langenkamp now says the same!

Chatting with EW, Langenkamp expressed that she’d love to reprise the role.

I’m sitting here like any other scream queen in Hollywood, hoping that they revive their franchise,” Langenkamp told the site. “I’m not alone! I know of lots of other horror heroines who have this little bit of spring in their step thinking about the chance of perhaps being in [new versions of] the movies that they helped make famous as young people.”

It’s kind of crazy, but it’s definitely something I would love to do,” she added.

At this time, however, Langekamp made sure to note that nothing is in motion.

I haven’t [heard anything about a new film],” she says. “I certainly keep up with friends at New Line Cinema, and so I would expect if Warner Bros. or New Line Cinema — whoever — would put something like that together, I would imagine that I would know. So, the fact that I don’t know leads me to believe that it’s probably not in the works.”

Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.

Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things),  Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.

The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).

Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.

Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.

Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.

In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
